Battle Cry
OK, Sherry, here goes...I'm behind on my reading, but there's still hope! For some reason, I love epic, battle movies where there's a fight for justice. When all hope seems gone, and the odds seem impossible. Scenes from Braveheart or Lord of the Rings--Two Towers. Good stuff. It comes alive in Psalm 27:3,13..."Though a mighty army surrounds me, my heart will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident...Yet I am confident I will see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living." Sometimes the pressures and evil of this world are so heavy. And then to think about spiritual warfare on top of that, that's overwhelming. And quite frankly, it really makes me angry (insert swear word if this wasn't a church blog!) But, this gives me hope and I think that I can stand knowing that God is right here with me.

Yeesssssss!!!!! Balm to my soul, Sussy!
ReplyDeleteYou know what?! Jenny and I are reading the whole bible in a year and our reading today was about the warriors of Amalek attacking Moses and his people when Moses held up his staff the Isralelites had the advantage, and when he couldn't hold up his hand Aaron and Hur held it up for him...how great is that? Not only are we surrounded by this mighty army but we have fellow believers to hold up our staffs for us when we lack the strength...praise God!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, Sussy!! Glad to see you here!
ReplyDeleteI love your thoughts. They encourage me. I'm going to try to remember your battle cry...
